ARPANET is now 50 years old
The precursor of today’s Internet, ARPANET was created by the US Department of Defense in 1969. However, it was in France and in Inria’s laboratories that some of the basics of the packet-switching protocol were invented four years later. The researcher Gérard Le Lann – a key stakeholder in this project led by Louis Pouzin – looks back at this invention that laid the foundations for the TCP/IP protocol, which has become the fundamental building block of the Internet!

Cryptonext Security: Encryption software equal to tomorrow’s quantum computers
The start-up Cryptonext Security was founded in June 2019 by Ludovic Perret and Jean-Charles Faugère. This spin-off from Inria and the Sorbonne markets software programs capable of withstanding the next big security threat – the phenomenal computational power of quantum computers, which will easily break most cryptographic codes currently in use. The company’s B2B software aims to become an indispensable cybersecurity tool.
